    I don’t get people who react like you do.

    Are you angry about brexit? Do you want to undo it? The first step is talking about it, admitting what a failure it was. Then we can build a sentiment for rejoining. As long as admitting failure is frowned upon - even by those who didn’t want to leave, ready to ridicule those who did - there can be no moving on.

    Why do you think rejoin hasn’t happened yet, if not for a sense of pride?
